Lu Yiwei was facing an unprecedented crisis since he started his career. He could clearly feel that Xu Shousong was coming for him this time.
This time was different from the past. In the past, when something happened, there would be someone backing him up. To put it bluntly, there would be someone to take the blame for him. He was just a small grasshopper. But this time, he had to deal with it as the leader. No one would speak up for him.
What should he do?
No matter how much money he spent, Lu Yiwei could withstand the organization's test. He was open and aboveboard. He did not pocket a single cent. But if they wanted to find a way to deal with him, any excuse would be enough to make him suffer.
Lu Yiwei did not sit still. The second day after the investigation team arrived, he held an expanded meeting of the Standing Committee. He requested for each project to sort out the accounts, and he wanted to review them personally. But five to six days had passed. Other than the project that Zhao Xiaokang was in charge of, the rest were waiting to see. As for what they were waiting for, everyone knew it.
But when it came to large-scale activities, money was no longer money. Firstly, the project was tight. It would take a few months or even longer for the project to be completed in a short period of time. All they needed was money. Planting a tree cost 100 yuan, but now they dared to ask for 1000 yuan or more. Secondly, there were too many hidden projects. The signs erected on the street, the banners hung, and even a screw, which one of them was not money? But in actual operation, some of them increased the cost, and some of them accumulated to other items, packaged into a single item for reimbursement. In the end, no one could say for sure.
Was it really impossible to explain? Actually, no one was a fool. Everyone was pretending to be confused. It was just to get some benefits for themselves.
Lu Yiwei first looked for the County Magistrate, Wu Shixun.
Before he could ask, Wu Shixun had already started complaining. "The project that I was in charge of was too short. According to the process, I need to set up the project, plan, supervision, and other links. Now, I have skipped these links, but I can't miss out on the payment of the project funds. So, I need some time. "
Wu Shixun was promoted because of his suggestion, but he felt that it was unfair. He had thought that after the meeting, he would be able to become the acting Mayor. However, the Municipal Party Committee had only considered Lu Yiwei. There was no news about him at all.
He also knew that the removal of the acting representative would require an election by the National People's Congress, but under the current system, it was just a matter of a word. However, the higher-ups did not consider it. One had to know that as long as the word 'agent' was not removed, his position would be in jeopardy, and he could be replaced at any time. Now that Guo Jinzhu had left, whether the current Party Secretary would admit it or not was another matter.
Lu Yiwei did not want to make things difficult for him, so he said, "Old Wu, I won't beat around the bush with you. The city is serious about investigating the expenses of the event, so there are some things that you should understand even if I don't say much. I can turn a blind eye to things that can be ambiguous, but don't play dumb with me about things that can't be ambiguous. If something happens, no one can escape, and I can't do anything to help you, understand? "
Hearing this, Wu Shixun was a little unhappy, and said, "Secretary Lu, are you saying that you don't trust me?"
Lu Yiwei said seriously, "It's not that I don't trust you, but the higher-ups have the relevant evidence. Do you think I dare to help you?"
Hearing this, Wu Shixun panicked, and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Lu Yiwei knew that there was something fishy about the project, so he directly said, "Old Wu, you have been doing this your whole life. Don't let others get hold of you because of this. Erase it if you can, but if you can't, let's discuss how to deal with it together, okay?"
"Okay …" Wu Shixun was a little lost, and he walked out of the office in a daze.
Song Defu came in. As a senior, Lu Yiwei was very polite, and Wu Shixun did not know what to do.
Song Defu said, "Secretary Lu, I have a lot of accounts that I can't repay. For example, the money you gave to the reporters in private, how do you want me to repay? That's not a small sum. "
Lu Yiwei came up with an idea. "Why don't you just put this money into the construction reception office?"
Song Defu said, "Alright, I will think of a way. If there is no other way, I will look for Secretary Xu."
Lu Yiwei comforted him, "Secretary Song, everyone is here for the same purpose, and I will bear all the responsibility and consequences. I cannot let you all be implicated for no reason."
Song Defu was quite angry, and slapped the sofa, "Secretary Lu, I don't understand. This meeting is not our Black Mountain County's idea. If it was not for the higher-ups, I don't think there is a need to fight for it. The county does not have the money to begin with. So be it. Isn't it for the province's reputation and honor? Now, they want to settle the accounts. If they really want to investigate, they can just lock us up! "
Lu Yiwei also thought so. But now that it had happened, he had to deal with it calmly. He said, "Old Song, the city is right to investigate. As long as there is no problem, there is no need to be afraid of them. What I am afraid of is that there is a problem in the middle, and we will not be able to clear our names."
Song Defu responded calmly, "Yes! Let them investigate. It's fine if they find out, but if they can't, they will be slapping themselves in the face! "
Lu Yiwei smiled bitterly and did not say anything.
After Song Defu left, Lu Yiwei called Executive Deputy Mayor Zhao Jiancheng over, but he went to the city for a meeting. Guo Zhenbiao, the biggest problem, did not even answer the phone. Little did they know that he had already gone to the city to build a relationship with the new secretary.
At night, Lu Yiwei received a call from Zhang Zhiyuan, asking him to rush back. Lu Yiwei did not stay and returned to Jiangdong that night.
In Zhang Zhiyuan's house, the two were having a heart-to-heart talk.
As for Guo Jinzhu's sudden transfer, Lu Yiwei was puzzled. Zhang Bingtong, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, was obviously satisfied with the meeting, and Guo Jinzhu had done some remedial work. Was he not satisfied? If he had to find a reason, it would be that he had wanted to remove Guo Jinzhu from his position.
When Zhang Zhiyuan learned that Xu Shousong was investigating Lu Yiwei, he quickly called him back to ask about the situation and discuss countermeasures. He said, "Yiwei, tell me the truth. Did you do anything dirty in the meeting?"
Lu Yiwei sneered, "Secretary Zhang, don't you trust me? Besides, do I need to pay that little money? "
Zhang Zhiyuan knew Lu Yiwei's situation very well, and naturally knew his character. He said worriedly, "Of course I trust you, Yiwei. But can you guarantee that the people under you won't?"
"…" Lu Yiwei was speechless.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei did not speak, Zhang Zhiyuan said in a commanding tone, "When you go back, quickly clean up your mess. No matter who's the culprit, you can't escape. Do you know why Secretary Guo was transferred from Xi Zhou? "
This was also the answer that Lu Yiwei wanted to know, so he shook his head eagerly and curiously.
Zhang Zhiyuan sighed, "Secretary Guo didn't allow me to say it, but for your future, I have to say it. In fact, it's all because of Secretary Zhang. He can't tolerate Secretary Guo. "
"Why?" Lu Yiwei was shocked, "Is Secretary Zhang not satisfied with the meeting?"
Zhang Zhiyuan pursed his lips and shook his head, "This matter can't be explained in a few words. It should be a combination of all kinds of contradictions."
"Ah?" Lu Yiwei's mouth was wide open, "Will Secretary Guo be fine?"
Zhang Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, "No one can say for sure, including Secretary Guo himself. But he should be fine for now, as for the future … I can't say for sure. "
Lu Yiwei's heart was in his throat, "Then what's the meaning of sending Xu Shousong to Xi Zhou City? What does it mean for a disciplinary officer like him to appear in Xi Zhou City? Is he going to investigate, and I'm the breakthrough? "
"I can't rule out this possibility," Zhang Zhiyuan thought of the worst and said, "Why did he send Xu Shousong? The intention is still unclear. But if you look at the whole thing, you might be able to guess the intention. So, you have to be careful, especially in the matter of the meeting. You have to handle it well. Otherwise, you won't have a good time. "
"Understood!" Lu Yiwei nodded heavily.
If it was in the past, Zhang Zhiyuan would tell him what to do, but not today. Firstly, this matter was beyond his ability, and his control of the situation was not precise enough. Secondly, Lu Yiwei could handle things on his own now, so it was better to let him handle some things himself.
Before leaving, Zhang Zhiyuan reminded him again, "Yiwei, there are some things I didn't want to say in the past, but your identity and status are different today, so you have to say what needs to be said. Let me ask you, do you plan to be a politician for the rest of your life? "
"Yes." Lu Yiwei nodded, "Since I've embarked on this path, is there a way back?"
"That's good!" Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Since you're going to be a politician, don't get involved in these messy things. I think you're not short of money now, so sell your coal mine as soon as possible. If someone makes a fuss about this, I'm afraid you won't be able to get away in time, and your future will be ruined. "
Lu Yiwei understood one of the reasons and nodded in agreement.
After leaving the door, Lu Yiwei carefully thought about Zhang Zhiyuan's words and remembered that Li Haidong had donated two million yuan to this on-site meeting. He suddenly realized that he had done a stupid thing. He should not have let Dongcheng Coal Mine get involved in this matter. With Xu Shousong's sense of smell, could he wait until later?
Without further ado, he rushed to the Dongcheng Coal Mine.
When he arrived at Dongcheng Coal Mine, Li Haidong was not in the mine. He made a few calls, but no one answered. Lu Yiwei asked the old man at the gate and learned that he was drinking with Liangzi in Xiashuiwan Village.
Lu Yiwei went to find the address. He heard a group of people shouting and urging him to drink from afar. Just as he was about to enter the door, he heard someone ask Li Haidong, "Haidong, you said that this coal mine is not yours, so why are you working for nothing every day? You have money in your hands anyway, so you might as well do it yourself."
"That's right, Brother Liangzi said that as long as you agree, he can make the coal mine yours at any time."
"Yes! Work with us, and we guarantee that you won't be treated badly! " Another person said, "When you pushed Pan Chengjun away, didn't you want to feel better? He left, but what about your boss? Didn't he still give you a dead salary? Did he give you dividends? "
